The listing for these on Amazon says they are suitable for use on yachts. You know how hard it is to find a good yacht switch?
Did frank just win? I was enjoying this.

No I haven’t said my piece. Why don’t we get the switches like on ceiling fans and run plumber chain around the room. You just pull the chain to turn
it on and off.
Move all of the equipment to where it touches the dust collector. Then we just need one switch.

We could move it all outside and then just allow operation on really windy days
Might be hard to find volunteers to come stand with umbrellas over at all when it rains though

Ban rain on makerspace property. Or we could get remote controls, and…uh, never mind.

Wait the one switch idea has merit
We just need a series of gears levers and pulleys to be able to flip the switch from anywhere in the room.

Here it is in falstad. Keep in mind time is slower in falstad so you have to wait for the cap to hit 13-14v before you can button push again.

Is that link long enough?
We’re overthinking it… plug it into ‘The Clapper’. If you don’t have enough hands to clap then it also serves as a safety authorization for operation. Just solved two problems.

If that suggestion doesn’t get a round of applause, I don’t know what will!

Actually with a condenser mic and a transistor or two we can add that to the design.
Well, in that case, can we make it so that it only comes on if you clap the right song?
Why can’t that slacker Alexa get involved - she keeps offering to do things around the house…
